The song is very radio friendly, and the poster above ^ is correct that they aren't sounding/looking like typical X Factor wanabees. They're still quite popular so I can see this definately reaching the top ten.

lol not quite but hugely popular

Let's see how well they do then.

They are getting promoted really well..and performing the single at Summertime ball on Sunday so I think it will be in the top 5..And whether they do as well as number 1 will depend on who else is in the chart that week

The only obvious threat, i havent listened to the rest so there could be more.

Lady Gaga is obvious compitition - Paparazzi is a really popular song and obviously she's already got two UK #1's this year.

Think JLS will probably peak at at #2.

Things are looking good - they're now A-listed on Radio One...

I think JLS will be number 2 actually as Lady GaGa is massive competition- but number 2 is great compared to Eoghan's attempts to reach the top. They have their whole music career in front of them, so there is still chance for a number 1!

I doubt Gaga will get Number 1 - judging by La Roux's lead on Itunes I would say she could stay there for 3 weeks and be the main competition when they come out

I think they could be very successful. There arent really any boybands like them around at the moment and they have great personalitys and voices (and looks )
and theyre not doing an album full of cheesy covers
I dont know if beat again will be number 1 but I feel that it will definately be up there somewhere

This will be big I am already singing it and heard it loads even though I have not watch much music TV and listend to radio much ever. It burns really slow.

I'm sticking to my guns and saying this will be #1

my only concern is that the release date it too late. people might be bored of it by 3 weeks. its already been on the music channel for weeks!

Top 5 theyre quite popular. It will have to be a great song though.

I don't think it will make the Top 40.

Then you obviously havent got a clue

Its almost number 1 on pre-order charts, is getting loads of radio/ tv play etc and they have an inbuilt fanbase from the show, which they seem to have kept with them.

This is gathering a lot of momentum and has a real chance of challenging for the top spot. The downloads will have been repressed for a few weeks by the time their release date comes around and that can only help first week sales.

La Roux and/or Gaga will be their main competition. Can't see anyone else challenging tbh; I reckon they should easily slot into the top 3 and have a great shot at the top spot itself.

I'm predicting #4.

La Roux is definately #1 this week, and i'd be suprised if she doesn't retain her spot for another few weeks. Plus, Lady GaGa, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Saturdays, Take That and Jordin Sparks are all rapidly climbing the charts.

SEB is out on Physicals this week and only looks set to make top 10 - I can't see them challenging JLS in 3 weeks time

The Saturdays are out next week and are only top 30 on DLs - I can't see them challenging JLS in 3 weeks time

Take That - Were released on physicals last week and got to 9 - now dropping out of the chart - I can't see them challenging JLS in 3 weeks time or being in the top 20 at all

Lady Gaga and Jordin could well be competition - however both are selling well now and therefore sale could well drop off within the next 3 weeks. Jordin is only number 11 on I-Tunes and seems to have peaked last week when she climbed up to number 7/8.

With Lady Gaga I can't see her getting to number 1 - the song is nowhere near as catchy as her previous 2 efforts and the album has sold bucket loads. It is 3 on Itunes at the moment, however is miles behind the juggernauts of David Guetta and La Roux.

I would say La Roux is their only competition for the top spot and her sales will most probably be dropping off in 3 weeks time

That's got to be a joke

Im guna back them all the way..gotta be number 1 or 2 IMO!!

Yes it was a joke. I think it will probably get to number 1.

I think they've done extraordinarily well to get on the Radio 1 A-List - it's a good song. Number 1 doesn't seem like an impossibility actually.

With 1 week to go... (or 6 until the digital release next sunday)
